Microsoft Bedrock Minecraft Realms Down?

the servers are experiencing issues please be patient as we attempt to return you to your grind as soon as possible

As of time of writing, the Xbox Live Status page doesn't have Minecraft listed as one of the games being effected by some service outages. There are quite a few large multiplayer games affected at the moment like Halo, Gears 5, and Bless Unleashed, as well
as the party chats. Minecraft could very well be affected. https://beta.support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status

Consider power-cycling your console and internet router and then try again once everything is back on. Run a network test in your settings menu on your console to, again, make sure there's no potential connection interferences.

Here's a troubleshooter link from Minecraft.net, it doesn't say there are any service outages as far as I can see. But I could be looking in the wrong place. Nevertheless, this link is for Realms connection issues. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360034754132-Minecraft-Realms-connection-issues

If there may be an outage, consider @-ing Xbox Support or Mojang Support on Twitter.

I turned off my realm because of bad lag and turned it on again and now nothing is working?

they might be down

Hello, libby. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

Is this a Realm for Minecraft Java or Bedrock?

I ask because they are purchased through different platforms. Java Realms are purchased on the Minecraft website and Bedrock Realms (for Windows or Xbox) are purchased through the Microsoft/Xbox store.

Waiting for your kind reply.

Getting this with Minecraft Windows 10 Edition (Bedrock). Pain in the ass, I'm paying for a Realm, let me use it Microsoft...
